Kyle Westmoreland, a 2014 Academy graduate, earned his first Korn Ferry Tour title at the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard, Feb. 9, in Bogota, Columbia.
After shooting 70-64 (-7) in the first two rounds, Westmoreland set the course record on the Lagos Course on Saturday, Feb. 8, shooting a professional career best 10-under (61) in the third round. A one-under 70 in the final round put him at -18 for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Pierceson Coody and Christo Lamprecht.
The victory at the Astara Golf Championship is Westmoreland's first win in 60 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour. With the win, Westmoreland sits in third place on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List. The top 20 after the Korn Ferry Tour Finals this fall will earn a TOUR card. Westmoreland became the first Falcon to earn a PGA Tour Card in 2022-23.
Westmoreland is one of the most decorated Air Force Academy golfers in school history. A native of Katy, Texas, he earned all-region honors as a senior and competed in the NCAA Regionals twice. As a senior, he placed fourth at the Mountain West Championships, the highest finish for an Air Force golfer since 1985, and was named the Academy's most valuable male athlete. He won four individual titles in his collegiate career and was named the team MVP three times.
Westmoreland served on active duty for five years before turning his attention full time to professional golf. He became the first Academy graduate to qualify for, and make the cut, at a PGA Tour major championship as he competed in the 2021 U.S. Open Championship at Torrey Pines.
